The host of the 2002 Winter Olympic Games, Salt
Lake City sits at the base of the Wasatch Mountains near numerous
resorts where visitors and residents flock to ski "The Greatest
Snow on Earth." Salt Lake's attractive downtown is a mixture
of high rises and historical buildings, such as the Salt Lake LDS
Temple and the Cathedral of the Madeleine. Downtown's Temple Square
is arguably Utah's top tourist attraction and one of the nation's
largest parades, the Days of '47 Parade, is the capstone of the city's
nearby July 24th Pioneer Days celebration. Offering a startling variety
of unique sights and opportunities, Salt Lake City's cultural scene
is a mixture of pioneer heritage and first-class winter sports.
